COURSE MANAGER

Newbury & Crookham is one of the oldest members’ clubs in England, dating back to 1873, although the current course dates back to 1946. Since then, the 18 hole course which is a blend of heathland and parkland, located just south of Newbury, has been modernized and developed, particularly in the last 8 years, with a £500,000 irrigation system, investment in modern course machinery and improved bunkering and course design. The club now also operates a nine hole links style course and golf academy nearby and is looking to develop this further over the coming years. The presentation and maintenance of all these facilities presents a real challenge for the aspiring and ambitious Course Manager.

The successful applicant must have the ability, experience and motivation to manage, maintain and develop the course through leadership of a team of green keeping personnel and the efficient utilization of available resources.

The following skills, qualifications and experience are required:

• Significant golf course management experience.
• Excellent man management and leadership skills.
• Professional qualifications to NVQ level 3 with the appropriate professional certificates in pesticides and chain saws.
• Environmental management experience.
• Health and Safety management skills.
• A sound working knowledge of machinery and equipment.
• The ability to assist in compiling, and working within, an annual budget.
• Sound communications skills.
